Brookfield Office Properties Inc. today broke ground on the new glass pavilion on West Street at the World Financial Center with Pelli Clarke Pelli Partner Rafael Pelli, whose father Cesar was the original architect of the complex; and Gayle Horwitz, President and CEO of Battery Park City Authority, along with project consultants and contractors. The pavilion will serve as the complex’s new front door, welcoming workers, visitors and residents as they emerge from (and enter into) the Fulton Street and World Trade Center Transit Hubs. The pavilion will be the western terminus of the highly anticipated east-west underground pedestrian passageway in Lower Manhattan that spans one-half mile.
